Advanced Conductor Technologies LLC and Florida State University’s Center for Advanced Power Systems (CAPS) are taking a big step in the world of superconductor technology that could have major implications for naval, aviation and power grid applications. Through a grant program that encourages private industry to partner with university scientists, a

As published by the Department of Energy Office of Science: (download PDF) High-temperature superconductor (HTS) cables offer a potential breakthrough for developing a lower cost path to fusion energy, as well as for the next generation of proton-proton colliders. Current fusion and accelerator magnets are built using low- temperature superconductors

This Entrepreneurship Award is named for Mr. Carl H. Rosner, whose career is an excellent example of a successful entrepreneur in the commercialization of superconductivity. Early in his professional career Mr. Rosner left the research department of a large industrial company to start a small company, Intermagnetics General Corporation (IGC),
